What's Interesting
- Wagner’s majestic overture introduces the themes from his opera about love, heartbreak and a singing contest.
- Written for his wife Clara, Schumann’s Piano Concerto has always been a favorite in the repertoire. French soloist Lise de la Salle is one of the most exciting young pianists on the scene today—"a talent in a million" (Gramophone).
- Tchaikovsky’s hard-won first symphony unmistakably reflects the sure voice of a master melodist.
- May Festival Music Director Laureate James Conlon conducts.
